VariableScenF03
LabelChild M follow-up scenario 3rd income variation :Q711
Question text (Family: defined by scenario group - see above) In the next three questions, I want you to imagine a situation where the ((mother/new husband)s /fathers) income is £900 per month after tax. In each question, I'm just going to change the income of the (father/(mother/new husband)). What if the father's income is (still) £(1,000/2,000/3,000) per month but the (mother/new husband)'s is (still) £(900/1,500/2,200) per month. (How much child maintenance do you think (the father should be required/it is fair to expect the father) to pay the mother each month?)
